THS FROrOtlTIOX TO CXKSCEB. '
For malfeasance Jn office by a Secretary, or
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, there Is
legitimate and proper remedy. Articles of
Impeachment can be presented and tried, and
under them they can be brought, to answer and
defend tnemsejves This is' theproper and con
stitutional remoaw tor evils of that kind. But
If the House of. B-epresentatives does not be
lieve that the-actsen in this cast has been such
as to warrant .hrifcles of Impeachment, and
yet think It mcuufSent upon them that some
thing should-be, done to punish the officials
concerned for ausged lax and negligent admin
istration of the law", it would eeem to be due,
at least, to them'1, that charges should bo pre
ferred, spcdflc'In their character, in order that
they- may defend, themselves property before
the House, or Its agents, the committee.
If it' be 'asserted, Bat tl.'e Secretary or Assls
slstant Secretary, and the Solicitors have been
heedless or IncotutBtrate' fn their admlnistra
tion of any law,-' specifications of the thing, the
time, and"lhe' jlace should be clearly set
forth.
: -We have been Invited before yeur committee

Incompetency or; other official impropriety.

tbe fact that we were On trial.

forth, and. giro us an opportunity to meet it
and disprove it if we can.
The proposition before this committee is in"
tbe nature of Impeachment, without the safe
guards to our rights which tbe process of im-
peaenment anoratv -ine result to us 01- tne
adoption 'of your proposition by the House of

false Inferences, and unjust aspersions. Dur

investigation of this business, 'Ton have made
your report, and you bavejald- that "the testi
mony does not prove that Ihe Secretaries, or
any of their associates, 'were Influenced by cor

and I have made personal inquiry of individual
members of the committee whether there was
any evldence.whatever affecting Injuriously my
personal or official integrity, to which they
havt mvariao v reo nea. "nouunir." let it is
now proposed to censure us in tha House' of

power of the House Is lust that no more.
These officers are not officers of the House of
Representatives, not responsible to that body.
Their conduct comes to the consideration and
censure of the House In one way only, namely:
in a process of impeachment. Such Is my .be
lief; yet I know that there are many member
of the -House who hold that the House' can
rightfully do anything it pleases it to take

there be enough in tbe record, or other evi

tne Dcneroient wort or tne unurcn. rne.wnoio

He had been a'pastor foritwetrtTean and A see,

ner In which-people contribute. No matter In
what cause you ask money of them, they Inva
riably give you five dollars, and If you. consoli
date oDiejts under one board you decrease your
revenue, It was' not consolidation to call these
boards: there wss no savins. In such a proceeding.
He did not see any-great reason for a change, any
way, Ths Church to-day ltd the world's van in
matters of contribution. Hs had been chairman
of the committer on freed men at its start and he
opposed its being merged with ths board of home

Dr. wm. -IV Breed, or Philadelphia, presented

said, three million volumes and thirty million

Dr. Seta E. Logan, of Seranton, said If there

turned and started Is his buggy at one toward
Haydenvllle." He (Cheney) mounted at once and
drove after Oraves, but did not overtake him.
Th flood eat him off within 209 Sards and he.
turned, back,
Cheney iurther testified that he had bees gate
keeper ror two and a half years, and has seen
small streams of water running through. rr
line he has been there throughout Its whole
length, mostly at the bottom, and there was on
good stream within a rod or two from the pip
the outlet, as big as a man's arm. He had spoken
to Mr. Dlmaek, of the reservoir company, and th
agent of tha Noaatuok silk Company at Leeds
daring th last summer, aad Mr. Dlmaek had
said ha thought It was nothing mere than af
spring; had often spoken to Mr. Spellman, secre
tary of the reservoir company, and a button man
ufacturer at Williamsburg, about these streams.
A load or two of earth had caved off a year ago
this spring, and had never been repaired. Th
reservoir had been full two 01 three weeks!
Cheney testified that Mr. Spellman had em
ployed blm for (200 a year to open and shut th
gates. He bad few directions. Ha was to give
notice when anything was wrong. He worked at
farming whenever he could get a Job. The
reservoir company mad no requirement as to
wnat substitute be snouia leave at the reservoir
white gone. His wife was In charge at such
times. None of the owners hare visited the' dam
in times of danger. Mr. Dlmaek had e. -nlned It
last year. He had not called any special atten
tion to It this year.
"Ellas Cheney, rather of tha gate-keeper, testi
fied to th circumstances of tha discovery of the.
break, th principal points being that .bis son
made haste to relieve the pressor by hoisting
the gate, and then started down the valley. About
fifteen minutes Irom the tlmo be saw the slide he
beard a roar, and knew the dam had broken. He
described tbe visit last summer of Mr. Dlmaek,
and the discovery of a leak where th water was
rushing out, merely taking the earth along In
regular porridge. They got a shovel and dug
there. Witness described the condition cf the
dam as left, andsald that part of ths foundation
near Penstock waa still standing, but for a long
distance so more foundation was loft than when
the earth was mad.
Elisabeth Cheney, ths gate-keeper's wife, and
Mrs. Ellas Cheney added their testimony cor
roborative of the preceding witnesses.

NojtTHAxrTOS, Mass- May 23. In the Mill
river Inquest, this afternoon, Collins Oraves1, ther
milkman, who gave the alarm through the
valley, testified as follows: He was going his
rounds In his buggy, when he noticed Cheney,
ride Into BelcberVstable-yard, with such an
anxious look on his face that be drov In after
him to find oat th matter. He asked Cheney,
"George, what's tha matter!" Cheney answered.
"The reservoir Is stlvtng away." "Do you mean

Then Oraves said: "Well, If that's so, somebody"
has got to let them know It, YoaV Oeorge, warn
th folks here, and I will drlv down tha river,"
aad with the word he started.
He gave the first alarm at Mr. James' woolen
mill, telling Tom Brasll that the reservoir hsd
broken away and be. must alarm all hands and
hunt up Mr. Birmingham and warn blm. Then
he drove to Skinner's mill, met Mr. Skinner and
told him. He cried aloud as he passed eaeh house,
bat met no person on the road between Williams
burg and Sktnnervlll. Ha met Nssb Hubbard at
the door of the sHk factory and called out, "The
reservoir has given away Is right her I All you
can do is to get away I"
He also met George F. Smith. Thaddeus
Bartlett, Mr. Kopllnger, and a boy were told
this news In a. breath. All this while hs had not
seen nor beard the flood. On he went At Hay

Skinner's. Hs drov on to Hart's barber shop,
and these to Deacon Elam Oraves' store, when
he turned back. Ha first saw th flood as' he got
Into the dugaway above the brass works beating
down upon him, and again turning down th road.
he drov to th hotel and told Coomee, th land
lord.'who then got his horses out or th bars, and
had hardly don It when tne dam was gone.
Mr. Oraves was here questioned as to his meet
ing any person on' the way, and said he met so
one all the nay to Uaydenville, but met Jerome
Hlllman on horseback, coming from Stlnnervlll
Just as he entered "th dugaway to go thither ha
caught sight of Hlllman and a great wave at the
same time, ana neard mm can out. Tsru arouna
the reservoir Is right herel" He escaped th
flood by driving up over ths railroad track by th
church, and saw houses and shops go down. When
he one mora reached Capt Klflgsieys, near tne

Urn being, he thinks, ioma six or eight minutes.
He gave th alarm an along sua waj, cut couiu

Alarm was gives at Sxlnnerrtl by ringing
th factory bell, which struck as he started away.

As he passed Hayden'a tobacco works hs cried
fire, thinking they would take th alarm at that
"quicker than at water. He called out to a' man
at the cotton mill as he turned onth Iron bridge,
and there noticed the water coming over. th mlll
dam. He drove as rapidly as possible to Leeds,
alarmed the silk factory, Emery's wheel works,
aroused th boarding house, and went down
through the street" to the button works" and -to
Tenness ey's house at the foot of th street.
He then turned back and intended to cross th

up to his horses' knees, and ho .wheeled sharply
and drove up the hill by Boss's store and' warned
